The SpaceX Launches is an application built with React, Redux, Styled Components, Moment.js and hosted on GitHub Pages. The application must retrieve historic and future SpaceX launches and present them in a list view.
Clone down this repository. You will need node and npm installed globally on your machine.

npm run deploy
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build to be deployed on Gh Pages.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App, Redux, Styled Components and Moment.js.
GET - SpaceX REST API. Open Source REST API for rocket, core, capsule, pad, and launch data.
The project is hosted on Gh Pages at https://diegodinizz.github.io/spacex-launches/
This was a week-long project built as a short technical exercise. Project goal included is to create a React application that will consume data from the SpaceX public API.
Originally I wanted to build an application that allowed users to see the SpaceX launches historic and future in a list view. I started this process by using the create-react-app boilerplate, then adding Redux to manage the state flow in the App, styled-components to write actual CSS code to style the components, and lastly Moment.js to manipulating, and formatting dates.
One of the main challenges I ran into was to pull the information from the API. This leads me to spend a few hours planning a better way to display the information coming from the API. Due to project time constraints, I had to decide a simplified design to demonstrate a better visualisation of the pieces of information that I had available.
At the end of the day, the technologies implemented in this project are React, Redux, Styled Components, Moment.js, and Gh Pages to deploy it. I choose to use as fewer frameworks as possible to minimize initial setup and invest more time in diving into weird technological rabbit holes. In the next iteration with more time, I would like to implement a more detail visualisation of the launches, type safety method and possibly unit tests.
